Lt. Adriana Gaenzle rides aboard a Clatsop County Sheriff's Office boat alongside a deputy from CCSO during dual-agency law enforcement patrol on the Columbia River near Astoria, Ore., March 4, 2017.

By patrolling the waterways together personnel from Coast Guard Sector Columbia River and CCSO can enforce local and federal law aboard the same asset, and it is a good investment of taxpayer money as it allows for more operational flexibility.
